Welcome

This site is based upon my 2019 book “Resilient Space Systems Design: An Introduction,” published by CRC Press as well as other publicly available sources and includes content intended to illustrate the foundational principles of resilience as applied to space systems. Materials include white papers, methodologies, analysis results, and other tools to help guide the user through the topic.

This book is available through most commercial booksellers globally, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and others, in both hard copy and digital formats (e.g., Kindle).
